The essentials of playing Pinball
Try Pinball at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
